Chapter 109
Thinking about it, Gu Yunji's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and Liu Dazhuang yelled several times in a row before slowly returning to his senses.

Gu Yunji shook off the chaos in his mind, brought his attention back to his eyes, looked at Liu Dazhuang and asked, "Then what are your plans for the future? Going home?"

"I can have any plans, just live one day at a time." Liu Dazhuang smiled wryly, "I want to go home. No matter how good Jiangnan is, I can't get used to being a northerner. But I don't have much money on me, so it's far away from Baoding Mansion." The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, whether you can go back or not is a matter of two opinions."

"Then if there are construction sites recruiting people along the way, can you work and earn money while going north to return to your hometown?"

Liu Dazhuang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but soon dimmed again: "That's naturally good, but it's useless to me. After all, I can't go to work with my children behind my back, right? And those with wives and parents at home, it's impossible to leave The next family members run to make money by themselves. But for those bachelors who have nothing to worry about, it’s a good choice.”

Gu Yunji's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "So, for a person like you who takes care of your family, it's best to stay in Hangzhou Mansion?"

Liu Dazhuang scratched his head, and his tone was a bit uncertain: "You can also say that. The houses and fields in my hometown are all sold out, so it's meaningless to go back. Although my other relatives are gone, I still have Yaya , we, father and daughter, live the same life no matter where we are, there is not much difference. Of course, it would be best if we could stay here and not have to travel around anymore."

This answer is more in line with Gu Yunji's expectations.He thought early on that there are so many refugees, everyone has different situations and different ideas. Not everyone is willing to travel long distances north to return to their hometowns. There must be some people who prefer to stay in the local area and live a stable life.

There are not many wastelands that can be reclaimed in Hangzhou Prefecture, but if they are only allocated to those refugees who have families and people and are willing to stay, it should be enough.

In this way, it is equivalent to a screening of refugees.At that time, most of the people sent away by the Hangzhou government are middle-aged bachelors who are prone to riots; what are left behind are small families that can quickly settle down and put into agricultural production.

Moreover, this is also a measure of fragmentation, using the family as the unit to divide the refugees, and divide the closely grouped fellow villagers into small families that are easy to manage and control.To a certain extent, it can offset the resistance of the original clan to the locals.

It is simple to think of, but there are many difficulties to be faced in doing it.The first is the problem of planting habits caused by regional differences. These refugees are all northerners. While allocating them fields, they have to be taught how to grow southern crops such as rice according to local conditions.

Secondly, it is the season of spring sowing, and there are still several months before the autumn harvest. During this period, the refugees have no income, and the problem of food needs to be solved by the government.

Questions such as the above need to be listed in detail, and after careful discussions with Lu Xianzhi and others, a detailed charter can be formulated before it can be implemented.In short, there are still many things to worry about.

In any case, the follow-up resettlement method for refugees has now taken shape. Whether it is a single man with no worries or a young couple with a family, their future is at least under the planning and consideration of the government.

If only those helpless women could have such a safe place to go.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji's heart became heavy again.

After chatting with Liu Dazhuang for a few more words, Gu Yunji bid farewell to him, went back to the city to meet Lu Xianzhi and Xu Chengyu, and planned to tell them what he saw today and his related thoughts.

Walking to the refugee camp on the outskirts of Fucheng, Gu Yunji thought that since he came, he would stop by to have a look and make a round of inspection.Who knew that before entering the gate, a man with the appearance of an officer and a soldier was seen dragging and dragging a thin refugee woman into a secluded woods.

Gu Yunji's scalp tightened, and he immediately called two yamen servants to chase after him.

When he got closer, the figures of the two men were gone.Gu Yunji and the yamen servant searched for a long time in the winding forest, and finally heard a man's voice not far away:
"If I tell you to take it off, you just take it off. What a nuisance! Just now you said that as long as I sell the veil for you, you can do whatever you want. Why, do you want to go back on your word now? Tell you, there is no way!"

The man breathed heavily, and there was a bit of impatience in his tone. After speaking, he eagerly stretched out his hand, wanting to untie the clothes of the woman in front of him.

The woman's clothes were messy and her eyes were red from crying. She was frightened by the sudden movement of the officers and soldiers, and quickly covered the skirt of her chest with both hands, sobbing softly: "Mr. Not ready..."

"What's there to prepare for? You're not an unmarried young girl, why are you pretending to be reserved here? If you're not a chaste and strong woman, don't even think about setting up a memorial archway!" The woman's hand tore off the clothes on her chest, revealing a large piece of white snow.

The woman turned pale when he said that, feeling the coolness on her chest, two lines of humiliating tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she closed her eyes in despair.

The officers and soldiers saw that she was crying like pear blossoms and rain, and she looked a little differently charming, so they felt a little bit of pity, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, and comforted her in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, as long as you are with me After leaving me, no one will dare to bully you from now on, and life for you and your son will be easier, right?"

When the son was mentioned, the woman's expression was a little shaken, and she struggled less forcefully.

Seeing that this was effective, the officers and soldiers smiled smugly, and continued to coax: "You said that you are a woman with a five-year-old son, and there is no man behind you, so you are crowded out everywhere. Cutting the queue, and no one collects the handkerchiefs that I worked so hard to embroider, how can I survive this day?"

"How about this, as long as you take good care of the uncle today, I will charge you eight cents a penny for your handkerchief, which is one penny higher than others, how about it?"

Hearing these words, the woman's sluggish eyes finally recovered a little, and asked: "Really?"

"Of course it's true! Can I still lie to you?" The officers and soldiers licked their lips and looked at the woman with a greedy gleam in their eyes, "Isn't it just a few handkerchiefs? I haven't given up the two pennies In your heart. As long as you are obedient and obedient, do what I ask you to do, and there will be many benefits in the future."

"But now, you have to make me feel good!"

Saying that, the officer and soldier let out a lewd smile, looked the woman up and down lewdly, and stretched out his hand to continue tearing her clothes.

At this moment, a loud shout came from behind the two of them, causing the officers and soldiers to shrink back in fright: "Stop!"
